I'd rather a lego spiderman game...is it true TLC lost that licence to 'break-away' blocks and co? Because that kinda sucks, i loved those spiderman sets. Although i do find it funny i never acually bought any..._________________This would be my webcomic vv

I read this in Xbox magazine a few months ago. Sounds like an interesting project, but I don't see 50 playable characters in this one (unless we got about 20 differant variety of guard/henchman).Oh well, hopefully this will be another great combination of my two favorite pastimes !

EGM had a massive preview of LEGO Batman, which included those pics you linked. Some high points of the article:

1. There is a villain story (where you play as villains trying to stop Batman).
2. Instead of Force Powers, you get different suits (i.e. Batarmor lets Batman throw Bat-Grenades, Magnet suit lets Robin stick to ceilings, etc.)._________________I has a flickr!

This sounds a little weird to me. Guess I'm a little shell shocked from all the different Batman action figures made with different suits. Hopefully LEGO won't go to crazy with different suits like Hasbro/Mattel have.

Wonder if you'll have to switch to different suits in free play to do different actions like you had to switch to different characters in LSW to be able to jump higher, etc.?

Think the pics shown are from Free Play, because in most the villians are attacking their own goons.

What I think makes this game so appealing is the fact that it follows its own plotline instead of one from the latest movie. I know that the "every villain has escaped the Asylum, Batman! What will you do?!" plot is waay overused, but I think it's better than LEGO The Dark Night. (though a Heath Ledger as The Joker minifig would be awesome, especially in a video game)_________________

Today, WBIE revealed its first acquisition since its half-billion-dollar windfall. The interactive arm of Time Warner is now the proud owner of Traveller's Tales, the British developer of the Bioncle series and the wildly popular Lego Star Wars series.

WBIE is Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment, and the article also says that WBIE bought TT because they were impressed with the work done on LEGO Batman Video Game.

Can't wait for this game, looks like a lot of fun!_________________LEGO Batman is AWESOME!
